Watercolour Art Classes - Footscray - 2026 

For: Returning and beginners 

PLEASE DO NOT BOOK THROUGH THIS WEBSITE! Follow this link: https://the-art-room.com.au/classes/contemporary-watercolour/. for bookings

Watercolour is a fun and flexible medium with many contemporary applications like allowing the water-based medium to ‘take over’ and leading you into unexpected places. Learn how to use the materials on their own and with other mediums such as pencils, salt, sandpaper, ink and others.

For beginners you will learn the process of creating a watercolour painting and explore the use of the watercolour palette - which brushes, how much water and what washes to start with, as well as learning new techniques using other mediums.

Returning students will focus on their own subjects and being guided and mentored by Stefan.
